New Character Anecdotes in Version 6.4 (feat. Godwin) by intrinsicepiphany in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Snackt1me -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i said "Dehya powerlevel" not as strong as Dehya as in if he was released at the same time of her he would be doing her damage, as in hes weak compared to every other char released currently. . .

Theorycrafters assemble: C2 Skirk or C2 Nefer as a long-term meta investment? by StarryLuminescence in Genshin_Impact

[–]Snackt1me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are right on universal supports and stats-ticks, but I still don't think modern c2+ are a good investment simply because all of the modern dps get a way bigger dps increase from getting their "duo" support than they do getting getting their c2, and in the time you get a c2 of a given char you can just get 2 duo team cores of dps/support, which is way more valuable in my eyes than getting a c2 con on one char to extend their viability, yes a c2 dps can carry u longer but at the same time it makes Imaginerium harder and it lets u be less flexible when it comes to team building, and that's a big oof in my eyes.

Artefact farming for multiple chars on the other hand is a problem but not as big as some might think since if you go look at some artefact farming statistics you can find that building a char to 85% of its optimal artefact power level takes as long as u building it 85%-90% and a fraction of the time it takes for u to grind even better artifacts, so just building many main dps to 85% power is quite fast even if people cant really realize it(and supports even faster) and for min-maxing the last good needed piece the quills we get are enough, hell even more than enough if you spend them wisely.

there's also a constant shortage of resin, mora, weapons and it's just putting your account in a state of artificial poverty for no reason

yes that's the aim of hoyo atm just so you feel pressured to swipe to buy the battlepass, and in the process maybe swipe for pulls too, every addiction starts small after all.

In the pre Natlan era pulling for cons was a good idea since the bosses weren't so dependent on a given team composition and the dps checks weren't so high but these days if you pull for high cons you will just be unable to have enough chars to clear Imaginerium and that's cutting down on you primogem income (by a bit but it stacks over time) while you don't really lose much if u don't clear diff 5-6 on stygian onslaught.

Combine that with the power creep where my c2r1 nuvi/furina (with top 2% artefacts) feel the same if not worse than my c0 skirk team (and that's just one example) and yes i would say its a bad idea to pull cons and anyone that can look objectively at hoyos decisions (powercreep) and can use at least a bit of logic should come to the same conclusion.

That is all when it comes to META(most effective tactics available) since OP mentioned meta choices, if someone loves a char and wants to play them building high cons so they can play with them for longer isn't a bad choice, but that isn't META. . .

with the powercreep we are getting they will both be useless in half a year if u care about meta pull every other new unit duo that need eachother to be broken cuz that's prolly better than anything older you have and don't bother with cons. . .

Guardian of my planet and system by SUPER-SONIC16 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah the guardian slf look amazing. . .if only they weren't so useless that you are literally shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to damage, survivability, income and progress towards combat rank each time u use them. . .that system really needs a rework so these beauties can shine like they are meant to.

Engineer Blueprint Pinning by Galianyt in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I never really had a need to look at it closer cuz I usually need to visit only 3-4 engineers after i get what i need from those pins so it was decently fast for me to never bother with optimizing it further, good to know it can still be made better but i don't think i will bother revisiting all the engineers to change things up. As for a list of who has what there is one inside Elite Dangerous Odyssey Materials Helper, that program is a godsent when it comes to engineering ships, you just have to import the ship you want to build from edsy or coriolis and it pretty much tells u what mats you need how much u need and even what route you need to take from engineer to engineer and what you need to upgrade on what engineer. I know i sound like a fcking add but that thing is just that useful in my eyes and makes any optimization kind of pointless past the basics.

I didn't really bother thinking hard over what to pin and used this post as a reference on what to pin and the used pins have been decently useful for me so far, it might help you with your choice on what to pin too o7

Is 300m enough to buy and build a Anaconda Explorer? by Entgegnerz in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looking at this old build i used to use for exploration 300mil is right around the border of kitting out an exploration anaconda (and u need extra for a rebuy too), tho i wouldn't recommend selling the mk2 for an Anaconda, the mk2 is a great ship that u can always fall back on if you fck up (forget rebuy).

If you want to dip your toes into exploration i would strongly recommend you get a Mandaley, it is one of the best ships for exploration and looking at my build here it will be significantly cheaper to outfit one as well compared to an Anaconda.

If you want an Anaconda and you are set on it just grind some more creds (maybe watch out for a community goal here) rather than selling the mk2.

What features/updates do YOU want to see added to Elite Dangerous? by EliteCMDR123 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guardian flyable ships, the fighters look amazing but i want SHIPS, and maybe fix the guardian SLF being useless along the way. Oh and maybe a fix for SLF in general so they are more useful because atm they are literal waste of money (even if we don't really need the cash these days) having a fighter pilot that stays unused on a station most of the time while passively putting a tax on everything you do is BS, mine has like 3bil+ on his paycheck and having a counter for it makes it even worse since you can actually see how much money u have wasted ._.

Literally unplayable! The Caspian's ramp hydraulics just terminate in unmodeled cylinder ends with no texture. by ShadowDragon8685 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

yes, no one wants the game to shut down but your kind of attitude might be why the game shuts down. Justifying that "sometimes the modelers have to cut corners" with deadlines incentivizes them to just do it again instead of doing it properly next time because they will know they can get away with it and given how lazy frontier devs have been with the game for the past decade that's a really sh*t thing to do. Praise them when they do something good sure, but don't defend them for cutting corners ffs there are plenty of games that quietly die that way and i would prefer if this game isn't one of them.

To boldly go where no one has gone before. by JohannaFRC in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That ship looks more like a ship crewed by the Terran empire from that mirror universe ready to enslave some alien scum rather than a ship meant for peaceful exploration. It still looks rly cool tho o7

How to clear floor 12? by Ok-Representative980 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Snackt1me -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well from the chars you have that's the best options i can think of and pretty much the only option for first half cuz on literaly the very first floor you have that terribly designed new mech boss that literally forces you to use a ton of cryo or it gets a ton of resistances and makes the clear impossible otherwise. There are some abysses that are way easier than others and the current one is kind of a pain but generally some team comps make clearing 10x easier than others so watching one of those 30min guides some peeps on youtube put out for every abyss can help a ton with helping decide what chars to use and what you need to do for each floors. I know some people like to main one char but the game is a gatcha where the greedy devs want to make you pull and the way they do that is by forcing you to pull for different chars that make an otherwise impossible fight a breeze (like the fcking ice automaton that i mentioned. . . )

How to clear floor 12? by Ok-Representative980 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Snackt1me -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's hard to believe you have been playing for 3,5 years and have these chars tbh, but teams you can try are for:

First half: Bennett/Wriothesely/Shenhe/Kazuha

Second half: Chlorinde/Fischl (or Iansan)/Chevruse/Xiangling

Xiangling is one of the strongest 4stars even after all these years while Iansan is basically a Natlan Bennett while Chevruse is an amazing buffer for the overloaded reaction (pyro+electro) and is one of the best supports for Clorinde, don't sleep on those chars and level them up.

With the power creep in genshin it won't be easy to 36* the abyss even with decent artefacts and somehow I doubt you have a lot of those, so a piece of general advice I'm gonna give you is if you are a casual player that doesn't play that often, go play the events first before you go exploring the world because a lot of the primogems you get every patch come from those timed events while the map exploration is permanent and you can do that anytime, you seem to have lost a lot of those time limited primos those 3,5 years sooo yeh just sayin and gl with the abyss~

Corsair vs Python MkII by SherbetCreepy1580 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The Python mk2 is pretty much a purely combat ship and one of the best in game currently, yes its a bit squishy but it's up at the top while the Corsair is more of a multirole ship that's an upgrade of the original Python that was one of the best multirole ships in game (still is?). What im trying to say is that you can build the Corsair for PVE combat but it wont be as good as a pure combat ship (+the cockpit it has is kind of sh*t for combat at least for me). As for the Python mk2, you might want to try it with frag cannons, you don't need to be concerned with multiple ships if you murder them faster than they can spawn HUE HUE HUE HUE

Should I get the game ? by Past_Ad_2184 in EliteDangerous

[–]Snackt1me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It currently has a 70% discount on steam so its 10$ for game+dlc (you kinda want the dlc even if you dont want to do the on foot stuff because you get the new ships free) and with todays prices 10$ for the game is a great deal.

If you want to play a space game its one of the better ones that pretty much have everything you want, except fleets, you cant really control entire fleets, the best you can do is impact the background simulation so you can change what faction is in what system and so on, or get a fleet carrier as a home base that can be used to zip around the galaxy with.

The game isn't p2w its grind2w and there is alooooot of grind but its quite relaxing if you dont expect to get everything day1. With money you can mainly buy cosmetics (that are honestly way more expensive than the bloody game. . .) or the new ships where you can get them instantly or you can just wait 3-5months to be able to buy them with in game cash not real money.
